The work 'Dialectic of Enlightenment' explores the complexity of the processes that gave rise to Modernity, pointing out how these processes can both realize the Enlightenment and liquidate it if its dialectic is ignored. This central theme is developed in a debate on the transition from Modernity to postmodernity, where the values of the Enlightenment that shape our culture are at stake. Horkheimer and Adorno wrote this work with the aim of preserving these values, and this edition offers a complete translation with its three textual variations, in addition to an introductory study.

Max Horkheimer was a German philosopher and sociologist best known for his role in developing critical theory as director of the Institute for Social Research, commonly associated with the Frankfurt School.
